   Project mention: Local First, Forever | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-25

   https://remotestorage.io/ was a protocol intended for this.

   IIRC the visison was that all applications could implement this and you could provide that application with your remotestorage URL, which you could self host.

   I looked into this some time ago as I was fed up with WebDAV being the only viable open protocol for file shares/synchronization (especially after hosting my own NextCloud instance, which OOMed because the XML blobs for a large folder it wanted to create as a response used too much memory) and found it through this gist [0] which was a statement about Flock [1] shutting down.

   It looks like a cool and not that complex protocol, but all the implementations seem to be unmaintained.

   And the official javascript client [2] seems to be ironically be used mostly to access Google Drive or DropBox

   Remotestorage also has an internet draft https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dejong-remotestorage/ which is relatively easy to understand and not very long.
